Reading this quote makes me bullish on the builders who are preparing for the first turning and not fretting the fourth turning. "Preseasonality is as functional as postseasonality is dysfunctional. We admire preseasonal purpose when we see it in people. Indeed, America's best-remembered presidents displayed this in deed or oratory before they were elected. The Crisis-era steadfastness of Washington and Eisenhower foreshadowed the coming Highs, making both generals enormously popular choices for presiding over those eras." -William Strauss, Neil Howe. The Fourth Turning

Very few plebs on nostr. There is no glazing on nostr. Nostr feels like home if you are doing the work and building the future. Nostr is pure first turning vibes. You can join us, but you won't like it here unless you're producing real things that the community wants. View quoted note →

@Phundamentals on Sound Coffee I tend to agree that the plebs have stagnated. Perhaps this is why there is a split growing between the plebs and the pioneers. Plebs stagnate, Pioneers are building the future. Definitely recommend you give this one a listen, this small clip doesn't do the full rant justice 🔥

This weekend I undertook my first tangible AI project that actually created something maybe kinda interesting. This project was inspired by the @Western Mass Bitcoin Meetup Book Club - we are currently reading the Fourth Turning. I created this using Claude Sonet 4.6 with the $20/month plan. No agents. I have zero coding experience and I've never used AI to build any code. I started yesterday morning and just finished what I would consider the first functional draft. I hit my token limit once, but I just took a 4 hour break (which was kind of nice actually). After I hit my limit, I started figuring out (asking) how to do things more efficiently and never hit it again. I'm currently at 35% of my weekly limit.

So since @ODELL had been talking about the CO2 detectors somewhat recently I decided that I wanted to get one before my next air travel, which is next week, but I found out that when I close the door to my office, which is rather small, within an hour or so it gets above 1000! Crazy! So now I know that in the winter, when I cant open the window, I at least need to open the door every hour or so at a minimum. Next I am interested to see if this impacts my ability to stay focused and work efficiently in here.

GM nostr ☕ PV 💜 Hey I previously was trying to think about what firearms I should own that would be beneficial if I ever needed to protect my home from drones or robots or something. But I have a fire hydrant in my front yard, should I just get a hose for it 😂 #asknostr

I have been resisting the urge to really take the plunge on some of these AI tools for a little while now... some of that is personal preference because I already spend way too much time on a computer and I don't want more computer projects. But seeing how powerful these things can be in practice, its making me wonder a little bit if there is going to be a point in the future that these tools either get cucked or banned... like perhaps now could be the best time in past, present or future for us to make the things that will change the world. What do you guys think about the future of AI for the plebs / pioneers? #asknostr

Fuck. This is really going to put a dent in my plan to own my 2016 F150 for another 40 years. Maybe I'll need to start stacking parts for it now 👀
